Small-business outreach conference set Tuesday in Port Angeles

PORT ANGELES — Small-business owners on the North Olympic Peninsula can tell their concerns Tuesday to an Association of Washington Business contingent to help shape the state’s 2017 legislative agenda.

The Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce will host the outreach session, scheduled from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. at the Red Lion Hotel, 221 N. Lincoln St. A complimentary continental breakfast will be provided.

Attendees are expected to tell of specific challenges they face having to do with regulations, taxes or other concerns.

Those who want to attend are asked to RSVP to the Association of Washington Business (AWB) as soon as possible by emailing jackier@awb.org or calling 360-943-1600.

Members of the Port Angeles Business Association will hold their regular weekly meeting at the same venue to join chamber membership for the session.

The outreach session is one of 15 different sessions held in May and June throughout the state as part of AWB’s 2016 Small Business Outreach Tour.

Port Angeles was chosen as the venue for listening to input from business owners on the North Olympic Peninsula, the chamber said.

The result of all 15 sessions will be a 2017 AWB Small Business Legislative Agenda.

Questions can be directed to AWB at its contact number or to Marc Abshire, chamber executive director, at director@portangeles.org.
